    The title of a former "Imperial Abbey" alone makes it clear that this was an important monastery. The tomb of Saint Willibrord is located in the crypt, and on the Way of St. James, pilgrims make a special detour via Echternach to pay a visit to this saint.

    The "Imperial Abbey of Echternach" in the Luxembourg town of Echternach was a Benedictine monastery and immediately subject to imperial rule in the "Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation."

    In addition to large parts of the convent buildings, the "Basilica of St. Willibrord," last reconstructed after World War II, has survived from the monastery.

    The territory of the former Imperial Abbey of Echternach lies largely in the Federal Republic of Germany today, with smaller parts in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
